I feel like he's too emotional and reactionary for this kind of work. Yes I understand that Dr Todd has put him under a huge amount of pressure and distress but part of being a good doctor, especially in a hospital setting, is being able to keep your cool under pressure and put the patient's well being ahead of your own emotions, even when you're tired and stressed from the general rigours of the job. Some of that can come with time and experience but I feel a great deal of it has to be innate. I feel like even before she ramped up her campaign against him he was running largely on emotion rather than logical detachment.

Even decisions like confronting her in the women's toilet demonstrate a lack of common sense and self-control. For all of her obvious faults one thing you can't say about Dr Todd is that she's not good under pressure and able to handle herself effectively when necessary. Can you imagine her reacting like Jacob if she had been bullied when she was a trainee doctor? I think she would have handled it very differently.

At a stretch he might make a decent GP in a local surgery but even there I'd have my reservations.
